The green grass grows all around

Lyrics

There was a tree
All in the wood
The prettiest little tree
That you ever did see
Oh the limb on the tree
And the tree in the wood
And the green grass grows all around,
all around
The green grass grows all around

Now on that limb
There was a nest
The prettiest little nest
That you ever did see
Oh the nest on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the wood
And the green grass grows all around,
all around
The green grass grows all around

Now in that nest
There were some eggs
The prettiest little eggs
That you ever did see
Oh the eggs in the nest
And the nest on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the wood
And the green grass
grows all around,
all around
The green grass grows
all around

Now in those
eggs
There were some
birds
The prettiest little
birds
That you ever did see
Oh the birds in the eggs
And the eggs in the nest
And the nest on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the wood
And the green grass grows all around,
all around
The green grass grows all around
And the green grass grows all around,
All around
The green grass grows all around
